Planning commission approves new single‑family home at 546 White Rose Lane
Summary
The commission unanimously approved site‑plan and concept stormwater management review for a new single‑family home at 546 White Rose Lane, with staff to finalize standard mitigation conditions.
The Olivette Planning & Community Design Commission unanimously approved a site plan and concept stormwater management review for a new single‑family home at 546 White Rose Lane on April 17.
The petitioner revised the garage footprint after prior discussion and the plans in the commission packet show a solution that breaks the garage into a two‑door facing the street and a perpendicular one‑car bay, reducing the forward projection. Arthur Cortes, the applicant, said the change increased backyard space and kept the main house design intact. “We basically kept the house unchanged. We just disconnected the garage,” Cortes said.
The motion to approve was made by Brian Lewis and seconded by Laura Ragsdale. Roll call votes were all in favor and the motion passed 6–0. Staff noted remaining technical conditions in the staff report and will work with the petitioner to finalize site‑improvement plans and mitigation requirements before building permits are issued.
Clarifying details: staff reported the updated plans reduced the garage projection so the two‑car portion extends about 2.5 feet off the front building elevation and the single‑car bay projects roughly 12 feet, addressing a prior concern about a 15‑foot forward projection in the code.
Outcome: Approval 6–0; conditions in staff report to be satisfied before permits are issued.
